A lovely pair of red chairs!

It is That time of the week! I wanted to show you some photos of my cousin’s wonderful home up north of Eau Claire. It is a private lake with just a couple homes on it, and wonderful spot!

This is the house:

See those chairs outside????? Here is a closer look…..

I was going to get a photo of all of us in the chairs and I just forgot!!!!

Wouldn’t this be a fun place to sit and talk?????

These chairs were in the basement, they hadn’t been put out yet….

I just love these! But I have never been able to find them in this red….she couldn’t remember where she got them. Just perfect!

Here are a few more photos of the inside of Deb’s summer home….right up our alley girls…she needs a blog!!!!

See what I mean????? She needs to join us! LOL

I received another wonderful pillow made from fun fun fabrics….

I am not sure if it is new fabrics or old, but I love it!!!!! I found it while I was looking for something else on the Internet…..

Here is the site! Very nice lady! :)

Well, that’s it for this week….thanks for stopping by and be sure to go check out all of the other wonderful red’s!

Rednesday at 521 Lake Street

I love this day…red always makes me feel happy and paired with yellow…can’t get any better!

So this is my contribution this week!

Sweet little tea flower pot filled with hearts and flowers from my hubby for Mother’s Day!

This little guy came on a card in a batch on won on Ebay…the card was horrid, browns and grays, but he was so darn cute, his arm moves so he can swing at the ball. He is about 2.5 inches tall.

A favorite ME tin from Michaels from a group of items for a party. Love the see thru top! :)

An adorable pillow I bought from Etsy…a vintage table cloth and new repro quilt fabrics.

A fun shelf I made ( Goodwill buy) with my friend Cheri for the craft show, didn’t sell it, but it is perfect in my kitchen!

A wonderful little peg doll and her Scottie made just for me by my friend Elizabeth! She sent me a whole box of cute cute items, I will share a little at a time….the bright red pot with the pink flower moves back and forth when it hits sunlight! :)

2 Yards of fun red oilcloth that will get a scalloped edge and be perfect with my Fiesta ware!

OK…that’s all for today! I am on my way to see everyone else’s fun reds! :)

Vintage Thingie Thursday

It is always fun to link up with Suzanne on Thursdays. I have missed quite a few lately and have decided that I am going to join in more often!

I am going to show you some of the things I bought while in Wisconsin!

One of my very favorite vintage finds is 1940’s linens for the kitchen and I was very lucky this last trip!

First of all look at this wonderful apron my cousin bought for me while we were at the main antique store in downtown Eau Claire:

It is homemade and just about as colorful as you could ask for!

A few days later we were at another sweet store and I found these towels, for just $2.50 each….

When I got them home, I realized that two of them matched the apron!

Here is another view of the apron:

and the top of the apron:

And here are the two towels close up:

See how it is the same fabric????

The towels are made of that wonderful fabric they sold in the 40’s and 50’s that came by the yard, and all you had to do was cut it to the length you wanted and hem the ends…..now I see they used it for aprons and I imagine curtains too!

I can’t believe I have never seen this pattern and I found three things in one tiny town that all had the same fabric! What are the odds????

I wish I could go back in time and shop at a store that had all of these wonderful products! :)

I also picked up this sweet, colorful cookbook:

I am not sure what “Meals from the Manse” means, but when I opened it and I read the name of the lady who owned it, a Mrs. J.B. Turney, my cousin said “ Oh that was a friend of mine’s mother”! Again, what are the odds? The woman had died years ago…..a little spooky, huh?

Thanks for coming by and please check out all of the other wonderful blogs connected to Vintage Thingie Thursday! Just click on the first photo in my post to get to Suzanne's blog! :)
